It does not happen often, but when it does, everyone knows when Mitch Hyatt makes a mistake.
Why?
“When Mitch makes a mistake, it is like, ‘Mitch!’ You know? I mean you just can’t believe it,” Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said.
Luckily for No. 3 Clemson, they don’t have to utter those words too much. Swinney calls Hyatt “Mr. Dependable,” because the coaches know he is always going to get his job done. He has been that way since he first started the first game of the 2015 season as a true freshman.
That year, he became the first true freshman to start his first game on the offensive line since James Farr did the same in 1980.
